TODAY SOUTH LONDON, TOMORROW SOUTH LONDON


Hello everyone,


Some of you may know me from my occasional posts on here pointing to local-interest pieces I have contributed to Deserter.


Well, I'm happy to announce that we now have a book out featuring some of these tales, plus lots of new material that our publisher absolutely insisted we write.


Described by one Amazon reviewer as "Fear and Loathing meets The Good Beer Guide", it is a celebration of the glorious South and its inhabitants. Part guide, part travelogue, part never-ending pub crawl, it has been chosen as one of the Evening Standard's Best Comedy Books of 2018: https://www.standard.co.uk/shopping/esbest/books-dvds/best-comedy-books-and-dvds-of-2018-a4010706.html?fbclid=IwAR1GxXp3VwbCei5UFYR58BUwygM7H-LZDp2ExsYv-mqkZ9Ux_RJKQ0ieruQ


Dare I suggest it would make an ideal Christmas present for the slacking booze-hound in your life? We all know one. And it's usually us.

Thanks g-g, and amen to that!

Apologies if anyone has had trouble getting their hands on a copy - incredibly, the first print run disappeared in days and then Amazon hoovered up all of the second.


At this rate I'll be making my offer to buy Dulwich College sooner than expected. I plan to turn it into a massive pub with dancing, water slides and everything.


The third print run is in shops now (and available online - read some reviews here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Today-South-London-Tomorrow/dp/1912618745/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=).

    • Well that says it all really, communism is well and truly alive in ED then.  Perhaps that's why he got thrown out of his own Party.  on no they didn't.......................................... Try taking off the blinkers.  Rockets has hit the nail bang on the head. Sense has been spoken. 
    • Really like this place. Good food, reasonable price and super friendly
    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet £100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.
